Insider Trading

Illegal insider trading is the purchase or sale of a security, in breach of a fiduciary duty or other relationship of trust and confidence, while in possession of material, nonpublic information about the security. Insider trading cases can be extremely complex and prosecutions by federal agencies continue to rise.
